LA FILLE MAL GARDÉE

The light-hearted and comedic ballet, La Fille Mal Gardée (The Wayward Daughter), is the story of Lisette, the only daughter of Widow Marcelina. Lisette loves Colin, a young farmer – but her mother has far more ambitious plans, and is determined that Lisette marry Alain, the son of a wealthy landowner. Alain seems as uninterested in marrying Lisette as Lisette is in marrying Alain. Widow Marcelina persists on making the match until eventually her good nature gets the better of her, and she gives Lisette and Colin her blessing.
